Answer 2

Hello Sheetal Naik

Just checking in to see if you got a chance to see previous response from Vinodh247.

As mentioned by Vinod, Yes, Azure Virtual Desktop can work with macOS.
As for 3D applications like Vstitcher, it depends on the hardware configuration of the virtual machines you are using. If you need to use 3D applications, you should choose a virtual machine with a GPU.

Azure Virtual Desktop supports Adobe Illustrator, and you can install it on the virtual machines you are using. However, you need to make sure that you have the appropriate licenses for the software you want to use.
